Suppose that hypothetical enzyme A can bind to molecules X, Y, and Z. Molecule X is the substrate of hypothetical enzyme A. Molecules X and Y can also bind with hypothetical enzyme A, but at different sites from the binding site of molecule X.QuestionDuring the binding of molecule Y, the affinity of the hypothetical enzyme A with molecule X increased and the Vmax also increased. Discuss what could be the action of molecule Y that made this happen.During the binding of molecule Z, the affinity of the hypothetical enzyme A with molecule X decreased and the Vmax also decreased. Discuss what could be the action of molecule Z that made this happen.
